"he wasn't one of the guards that willingly fed me. Something about a wife."
The opposite of willing is UNwilling... which is rape... so Anita's relieved that he was gang-raped and those other gang-rapists were the ones who marked him up?
She also refers to herself as being Lisandro's "boss". Ugggh.
Yeah, people get fired and go to PRISON for shit like that.
"Wereanimals are like people; they just wake up."
This is so ridiculously stupid and obvious and a waste of space. Aside from the vampires, who DOESN'T wake up when they wantto or due to outside stimuli? Additionally, for all your NOZ THEY'RE PEOPLE TO MEEEEE they aren't any more people to you than JC or Asher are. (And JC himself called Anita on that in one of the earliest books. He says something to the effect that while she prides herself on her open-mindedness, Anita actually thinks less of him than his more honest detractors. Anita protests and then realizes that he's right about her. She thinks of him as a thing. JC certainly knew what he was picking up.)
JC is sitting naked in one of the chairs
Interestingly, he's the only person NOT in the gang-rape pile. And it's canon that he has near flawless self-control. So an argument can be made that HE wasn't involved at all... except for the making out with Richard, the feeding on the chaos, and the NOT STOPPING IT. Honestly, I'm not sure if his disassociation from the ginormous gang-rape makes him more than or equally culpable to Anita since they both deliberate in their actions but only one of them is honest with himself.
Anita, with as much as you bite and claw guys during sex, has it never occurred to you that other people, including vampires, might do the same? OF COURSE NOT! SHE'S THE SPECULFUL ONE, DAMMIT!
We should be so lucky. Again, I must point out to Anita that she's assuming that these vampires bit her with the intent of sucking blood to feed, rather than just biting during sex as a sex thing like she herself does and not doing any more than that.
Anita's an idiot, especially since ASHER TELLS HER that vampires bite during sex. They enjoy that and using their secret vampire powers during sex. (And then he gives JC hell for letting Anita make him act like a pseudo-human and completely miserable. JC doesn't refute these accusations or say that Anita makes him happy even some of the time.)
JC helps her to her feet and they up and kiss and he says he's sorry
I HOPE HE APOLOGIZES TO EVERYONE ELSE IN THAT ROOM TOO. IT WON'T MAKE IT BETTER BUT IT WILL AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THE SITUATION FOR WHAT IT IS.
Anita asks how she can be alive after so many vampire bites. Instead of saying what I did, though, JC tells her that the aredeur somehow kept her alive, as well as the wereanimals who also have loads of bites
Listen, Asher's already explained it to her at least once or twice. Clearly that didn't make an impression on her. JC has no choice but to go to his fallback position, which is codenamed: YOU ARE A THE SPECULEST SNOWFLAKE EVER, ANITA. It's part of his Anita-management strategy.
"the ardeur is about life."
I thought Belle used it to murder, torture, and manipulate people? Or is that head-canon?
"that we would not feed on death; we fed on life, on love" ... "I would not have my people serve the dark. We would serve the light." <--Well JC has always known what Anita needed to hear to be pushed in the 'right' direction. I maintain that, if she REALLY hadn't wanted him to be an obsessive, stalkerly, dub-con-having asshat, she would've called the police on him or gotten a restraining order than gone out with him. Or, y'know, just murdered him the way she's ALWAYS murdered people who make her uncomfortable or get in her way. But there's really no way that JC thinks the light is a good thing. LKH's probably forgotten it but it's canon in teh early books that JC is afraid of the dawn.
Lisandro was forced to break vows to his wife (anyone thinking of Joseph here?) that he previously respected I AM!
